Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the regulations in force in Spain (Royal Decree 920/2017) governing the technical inspection of vehicles, trucks intended for the transport of goods with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg (categories N2 and N3) must undergo the roadworthiness test (ITV) annually until they reach ten years of age. Once they exceed ten years, the periodic roadworthiness test becomes mandatory every six months. Since the truck is 11 years old, it exceeds the ten-year threshold and must go to the ITV station every six months.
